The conventions of a thriller title include eye catching, thought provoking text styles. For example in ‘saw 2’ they use two cut off fingers to convey the number two. Furthermore the ‘W’ in saw is manipulated to resemble a pitchfork. This has connotations that the film will be bloody and gory. The colour of the text is dull and grim which emphasizes the grotesque nature of the film.

The font in the titles of Se7en are thin and crooked. The disorientated font brings a sense of confusion/amnesia. The font is white on black which makes it stand out; there is no colour as it is not supposed to be a 'colourful' film. That would be more suitable for a comedy or romance. The white on black conforms to the generic conventions of a thriller.
The font in 'The number 23' is simple yet complex. It looks like a typewriter would have typed this. This gives connotations of olden times. The red blood gives ideas of death, violence and danger. Blood is a generic convention of a thriller.
The font in 'Blade 2' is simple yet effective with the silver gradient topped with blood-like red. This alone already is a form of foreboding of what is to later come in the play for instance the violence being represented in the 'red' blood dripping from the bladed text.
